We love this pub, great beer & we really look forward to visiting. We're so glad that we can now get Black Dog Deli pizza, they are absolutely delicious & very reasonably priced - being able to also have food there makes it an even better experience.
Great local pub with some good food in the middle of Southwold.
Didn’t stay long, just for lunch as I wasn’t feeling the atmosphere in the back of the courtyard which was a bit lacking for me.
Great pub in an excellent location. Fun to stand or sit outside with a pint and watch everyone walk by to the beach and back. Bar is always well staffed and stocked with snacks.
Food provided by a third party vendor. Pizzas are great. Light and a good size as a personal pizza.
I have been drinking here on holidays, first 1996. As an independent pub, they had a good line in pub grub. Now, as fully part of Adnams, it was pizza from black dog. Not my taste. The pub has a great atmosphere and I included a picture of me with pint on the road to show the view. The selection of beers is great if you like me love Adnams. A word of caution, it’s cash less, cards only. This is true in all Adnams.
A lovely, traditional Adnams pub situated right near the beach at Southwold. A great selection of beers on tap with pizzas on offer from Black Dog Deli Pizza, which are fantastic. As well as a characterful interior, there's also a courtyard garden at the back of the pub offering outdoor seating. Would happily recommend and will definitely be going back whenever visiting Southwold.
Staff at the Nelson helpful and friendly. Saved the day for us when the chef at our hotel went sick! They orgainised a delicious pizza and salad washed down with a bottle of red wine. All in all a very pleasant evening in a lovely old fashioned atmosphere. Many thanks to all
Your typical Cosy coastal pub!
Owned by Adnams brewery so they mainly stock there own drinks.
When we visited there wasn't many tables, and it was quite busy, but the fire was going which was welcoming on a rainy day.
Only had drinks here, so can't comment on the food (which was pizza day)

Stopped in for a pint adnams, kept exceptionally well, and service was spot on, the barmaid who played with our pup gave a superb recommendation for a figure 8 leash and it has been life changing !! Lovely pub, pizza menu looked fantastic too but didn't try, you could do a lot worse than stopping here for a while!
Aside from the main bar area, there are seperate, smaller seating areas, but this does not make the pub seem enclosed and dark. Owned by Adnams Ales the pub serves a good selection of ales from the brewery.
The pub leases its kitchen to the Black Dog Deli, who provide the menu/food in the pub. An excellent choice of food all of which is excellent quality. Me and my partner had a Black Dog pizza each. Excellent quality, but so huge, we wish we'd ordered one and shared it!
Toilets exceptionally clean. There is limited free parking outside the pub. It is close to, but away from the hustle and bustle of, the main town.
The overall feel of the pub is that it is more for the locals. We loved our experience and Athena, our service dog, was well catered for and fussed over too. DEFINITELY DOG FRIENDLY.
Really nice clean pub, friendly staff with a good choice of Adnams beer. Really worth a visit. We didn't eat, but the food looked amazing.
